Billy Morgan just stomped the first ever quadcork.

Yup that's the sad thing is that these guys need to do this stuff to keep getting paid. Would be amazing to see each rider progress their own style instead of one-uping each other. Big air comps will be interesting next season with this trick on the scene. I see lots of injuries in the future.

Watching these guys do these type jumps,.. I never understood how they were able to remain oriented enough during or after spinning like that to be able to land anything!!! If I do more than 3-4 rotations for a flat ground buttered spin? I ride away dizzy after straightening out! :dizzy::snowboard4::dizzy:

Ur retarded if you think this isn't a game changer. Of course it is. Its going to change the comp scene and everyone in it. The weak riders are going to fall off and the strong ones will take this trick and keep going. Once this starts to become the trick you need to win some of these guys are not going to be able to keep up or hurt themselves trying.

Those big tricks are pretty cool to see in person but not something that gets me excited to ride. Just impressive.

I'd rather watch creative pow butters with tons of style or anything creative with style for that matter. Still nothing sexier than a super slow and clean 1 or 3 with a maybe a stylish grab or over a sick looking gap.

I'm not trying to take anything away from his achievement(s)! Especially since jumps like that are something that I will never be able to come close to doing!

The last jump I saw that really just blew my mind,..? Was Scott Vine's, one footy, double pump, double backflip at the end of the Arbor, Battle of the Brands clip!

I have the utmost admiration and respect for the skill that requires.

However,.. all that aside,..? I agree with some others that footage of back country, nip deep, POW turns with many face shots is what really puts the lead in my pencil!! :hairy:

Is this even snowboarding anymore? I assume that to learn this stuff you spend more time in tumbling lessons, trampolines and foam pits than anything else. Then you take it to a hill and see if you can do the same acrobatics with a snowboard strapped to your feet.

Give me a day ripping pow in the woods or a video of smooth stylee riding to watch over this gymnastics "progression" any day.

Four things I've noticed.

1. Seems every Brit, Scott, and U.K. resident is super proud of Billy for this and are the only ones bitching and moaning that he's not getting his "credit".
2. He's a fucking gymnast not a snowboarder.
3. Dudes still a one trick pony that only spins backside.
4. There are two things he will be known for. His horrible triple backflip late 180 knee grab, I refuse to acknowledge it's a rodeo because there wasn't a 180 after every flip, and now this quad cork. His legacy will not be remembered. Frank Bare did it better.
